more New to Amsterdam, love this app! We have had great experience so far with our sitters. I highly recommend it.
New to Amsterdam, love this app! We have had great experience so far with our sitters. I highly recommend it.
I’ve used Charly Cares for several years since I was desperate when I first moved to Amsterdam as an expat to try to find babysitters. In the last year or so the “angels” on this app have been very unreliable - I had a stretch at one point where 60% canceled last minute! How incredibly stressful as a parent! Today I had an “angel” cancel 2.5 hours before the booking and I’ve officially had it with this app and cancelled my membership. I’ve found babysitters in my neighborhood that are way more reliable and actually show up. I no longer find value in a Charly Cares membership.

Seriously, you guys need to improve your product management team. The app crashes often, so does the website. The naming conventions aren’t consistent... some times it shows a 12 hour clock with AM/PM sometimes a 24-hour clock...and then sometimes it spells out “half past” a certain hour! It’s unreal! If the sitters weren’t so great, you would have lost a client long ago. Please improve the experience!

I normally don’t write reviews but have to after seeing only one for this app. We are expat parents in Amsterdam and LOVE this app and the service. We have used different angels and have completed 20+ bookings. The profiles and reviews make it easy to find trustworthy sitters. And anytime we’ve had any issue, the staff have been proactive in emailing and calling - even initiating communication when they thought we may need some help. What’s more, nearly every parents’ group in Amsterdam has great reviews and recommendations.
